So I managed to install the Sims 3 via EA app via Lustris and the game works (that is, it loads correctly and is stable)

However, The Sims 3 is one of those games that require mods (Smoothpatch, Nraas Mastercontroller, Nraas Overwatch, etc.)

When I try to open the game directory, it doesn't open in Dolphin, but in some other app I couldn't find the name of, uses regular windows directory and doesn't allow me to drag files into (which is required to install the smoothpatch)

Has anyone here had a similar problem AND has resolved it?

It's basically just the title! Thanks in advance!

Edit: Specifically, I mean BG3, as I read that they released a native Linux version. Or is it only for the Steam Deck? And I've selected Proton Experimental in the Steam settings under "compatibility".

OS: Bazzite 43 (Nvidia Edition) KDE Plasma 6.5.4 Proton 9.0-4

I have played Elden Ring: Nightreign since it released. Shortly before the Forsaken Hollows DLC released, the game began no longer working on my installation of Bazzite. I have been playing on Windows ever since.

When I launch the game, the Easy Anti-Cheat splash screen pops up for a split second, as opposed to initializing on Windows for a couple seconds. The game boots fine, and it connects to the server to get the information page. But once I close the information tab, the game has a popup that says "A connection error has occurred. Returning to main menu." Further attempts to connect immediately fail.

I have tried reinstalling and changing my Proton version to no difference.

Hey. new here. been trying to get my gamepad to work on LMDE 7 but no dice. the gamepad is an 'Old Skool' N64 controller. standard 64 connector. my USB adaptor being a ' hyperkin 2 Port USB Controller Adapter for Nintendo 64, Switch, PC, and Mac'.

the emulator I'm trying to use is Parallel launcher.

the adaptor is detected, but some buttons do not work period and others I had to remap. Start, B, all of C and R do not do anything and the remapper won't see it.

parallel launcher has several different profiles to select between, Gamecube, switch pro, usb n64, and xbox360. the profiles seem to mean nothing other than being different mappings. they don't help in detecting buttons that don't work.

it also has 2 different 'input drivers': SDL2 and joydev (linuxraw).

I got AntiMicroX to try and see if I could remap, but even there while it can pick up the C buttons, start, b and r do not flash when pressed.

I then tried evtest to see if those inputs are even being picked up at all. evtest seems to understand each button, so its not dead (which is nice to confirm, this gamepad is brand new)

I also tried https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad and that picks up everything... except the C buttons.

I installed Xone in the hopes the adaptor pretends to be an xbox gamepad, nothing changed.

The adaptor itself has a switch: 'PC - CONSOLE'

CONSOLE makes nothing pick up, as you might expect. the PC side has the troubles mentioned above.

I'm kind of at my wit's end here trying to figure this out. so far my thoughts are happy that its not DOA, and my other thought is that maybe if evtest can pick up every button then I can use that data to remap the pad so parallel launcher can see it.

I ideally don't want to buy new hardware, gamepad nor usb adaptor. if evtest can see it, I'll take something arcane and CLI only if it means I can actually get it working.

you may ask 'why parallel launcher?' because its all I know and my xbox 360 gamepad worked there fine. I recently wanted to go with a real n64 pad because C buttons on right analog is suffering.

if you know another emulator that will work and something I don't need to start over in all my games (ie save conversion) in, feel free. if it works with this stupid setup and I can keep my saves, I have no alliegance or anything.

yeah, I know, 'just' get a switch online gamepad or 'why didn't you' get RAPHNET or MAYFLASH (if these even work on linux)

because I didn't quite realize I would have to suffer even in a 'modern' linux.

like I said, ideally not buying anything new here.

I might be able to get a hyperkin commander in the hopes that'll work, or if mayflash is the solution to all my problems, then I'll get it if I absolutely must.

Hey everyone, I'm building a flight simulator in my room and need a docking station. My biggest concern is hooking up three monitors. I want the best specs possible (minimum 4k 60hz, but preferably 4k 120hz, although i dont think this is possible). Below is my setup and what I need:

SEP UP: System76 Serval (Ubuntu) -RTX 5070 Ti -1x HDMI 2.1 -2x DisplayPort 2.0 over USB-C

Monitors: -3x Asus ROG PG32UCDM -x3 HDMI 2.1 -x2 DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC (These monitors do not support daisy chaining, unfortunately)

WHAT I NEED: -6 usb ports (yoke, throttle, pedals, radio, multi-panel, switches) -3 monitor ports - this is where I'm stuck. Do I hook up 1 DP and 2 Thunderbolt? Most docking stations have this. Or do I buy a docking station with 3 DP's?

I've narrowed it down to three options:

• CaliDigit TS5 (1 DP, 2 Thunderbolt), works with linux
• Anker Prime (1 DP, 2 HDMi), potential linux complications
• Plugable 13-in 1 USB (3 DP), potential linux complications

Please give me your best advice. Thanks for you time.

I'm running CachyOS on a Ryzen 5 7500G with an RTX 3070. Wanted to play Quarantine Zone, but was having issues getting the game to launch. I've finally got it in a running state and figured I'd post in case anyone else was in the same position.

I currently have compatibility layer forced to proton cachyos

And am running with the launch options

`PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=0 %command% -dx11`

So far it's been running like a champ. Will update with any new findings.

Hello,

im running opensuse tumbleweed with x11 with a rtx5060. A lot of games run great, but Warcraft III is acting up. It freezes about every 5 - 120 seconds. But it only freezes in the menu. Ingame works flawlessly...

Its running on proton hotfix or experimental.

The freeze can be reset by minimizing and maximizing the game. So its quite an easy fix, but still annoying. Additionally it doesnt start correct everytime, sometimes it just opens as ablack screen. The sound is still going though.

So far Ive tried to use windowed fullscreen instead of fullscreen and tried wayland. But waylands results in an error saying "unable to intialize graphics"

nvidia-smi tells me warcraft iii is using the card and about 1.5gb of gram are in use.

Is anybody able to help with this problem?

Edit:
Installed via Steam
KDE Plasma
NVIDIA-SMI 580.119.02 Driver Version: 580.119.02 CUDA Version: 13.0

We already had a list of the first lot of Steam events for the year but now we know everything that's coming, as Valve put up the second half.

.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

So, what is known about this? Have an AUS TUF A14 (2024) and it comes with a MUX switch, hence why I’m interested about this.

Any docs/usage on this? Would be nice to see how to implement it for gaming/etc.

I remember testing this few months ago and the performance was kinda bad on my RTX 3060Ti, not sure if its game or the nvidia D12 issue (or both), but was playable almost year ago on my SteamDeck when I tested it...no idea how its now

Those who are interested in the free week thing:

During the Free Week, players will receive temporary access to the full base game, including:

A Token for one plot,

Premium Status,

200 Grace.

You be able to build, craft, explore, and adventure exactly like regular players and join Clans and adventures!

Accessing Pax Dei and playing for free during the Steam Free Week is pretty easy: you will just need to select the free version of the game from their Steam store page, available from January 19 to January 26.

After the Free Week

Once the Free Week ends, players who wish to continue their journey can purchase Pax Dei base game, available at a -40% discount until February 2 on Steam and playPaxDei.com. To ensure a smooth transition, Free Week players will also receive a 2-days grace period (up to Jan. 28, 6 pm UTC) after the event to purchase the base game and continue exactly where they left off. If they choose not to acquire the base game right away:

Their plot(s)will be removed from the world,

All crafted items, materials, and character progress will be safely stored.

Should player decide to return later, their character and everything they crafted will be waiting for them in their Redeeming queue. They’ll simply need to find a new place to rebuild.

Testing it on the CachyOS distro, I’ve noticed in Elden Ring and other games these strange artifacts in the shadows forming triangles. I’m not sure whether it’s a Linux issue or something with the game itself, though it’s odd that it happens in more than one game. Does anyone know what this could be, or has anyone experienced it and managed to fix it?

These are the launch parameters I’m using:
PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink gamemoderun %command%

Proton: CachyOS 10.0.... native

Hey folks, just switched from Turing to RDNA 4 because of the 4nm process, FP8 based upscaling capability and RADV which ensure the longevity of the product. NVIDIA has just released model L and M for DLSS upscaling capability. I hope it is not a stupid question, is there a way for RDNA4 card to take advantage of the new NVIDIA released model during Optiscaler injection, or to I have to wait AMD to release it’s counterpart model for me to get a better experience? Since closed source nature of FP8 based upscaling(at least for now), I assume that part stored in firmware(instead of kernel space and user space), can we count on AMDs good will that it will provide support for firmware update for the extended period of time?

So I've had encounters with Linux many times throughout the years, from working in linux based servers to other friends PC's, but what I wanted to know is how the gaming space is really on Linux. For context I mostly play fps games, such as marvel rivals, cs2 and some other genre's like sandbox games and even emulation, however I'm not sure if all of those work smoothly on Linux, if anyone has a guide or some other info for this it would be extremely useful.

As for the title post I would like some guidance as to if it is worth it, Should I finally ditch windows? I do a lot of coding, right now specifically I'm working on a project with my college with visual studio specifically, however I'm unsure whether this is windows only ( I'm aware that there is a Mac version but I think it's not being maintained ), and I wonder if there's an alternative. Also if anyone knows if there is a possibility of SSMS working on Linux. Thanks for any advice.
